title: [Immunocytochemical study of the ontogenesis of the CRF-containing neuroglandular system in the human hypothalamus (author's transl)].
abstract: In the human fetus, the first anti CRF-stained fibres appear in the median eminence during the 16th week. From the 17th week, they are more numerous and they establish neurohemal terminals close to the superficial capillaries and around some of the developing intra-eminential vascular loops. In new born infants infundibular CRF-containing processes and terminals are strongly immunoreactive and very few CRF-containing perikarya can be detected in the paraventricular nucleus.
